"Get External Data Group" greyed out

I'm having the same problem as someone else whose  Excel 2010 the "Get External Data" is grayed out was also greyed out.  There was a suggestion to clear the old external data.  How do you clear old external data?

Hi,
Please confirm the following situations:
Once double click a cell, the “Get External Data” will be greyed out.
One you select a cell in a table, the “Get External Data” will be greyed out.
Check whether the workbook or worksheet is protected.

  • How do you get rid of a greyed out 'installed' badge in apple updates?

    How do you get rid of a greyed out 'installed' badge in apple updates? I have one that never wants to disappear despite having the most recent version of the software ( its evernote in case that helps). That is really the only app that doesn't want to disappear after installation. Any thoughts or ideas out there in the world wide web?

    Not sure I follow you 100%, but I think I know what you need.

  • Why is cellular data randomly greyed out on my ipad2?

    Sometimes when I want to use 3G on my iPad 2, cellular data is greyed out.  It only returns with a hard reboot. I have an up to date plan on at&t and am running iOS 5.1.
    Not a major crisis, just wanted to see if anyone has the same problem or a solution.
    Thanks.

    The simple and quick solution by "dale from sf" worked for me. No reboot needed.
    If you do not know how to "terminate" Settings, here is the gory detail. Many words to read, just a few seconds to do.
    Press the "Settings" icon to open the Settings app. Observe that Airplane Mode is OFF and Cellular Data is (improperly) grayed out.
    Press the Home button once to exit Settings.
    Double-tap the Home button. (The contents of the screen will slide up an inch and look like it's behind smoked glass. The bottom row of the screen--which won't look like smoked glass--will display the icons of the last few apps you have run. The Settings icon, run most recently, will be the leftmost of those icons.)
    Press and hold the Settings icon (at the left end of the bottom row) for about 2 seconds until a "minus badge" (red circle with white minus sign inside) appears near the top left corner of the Settings icon.
    Tap the red "minus badge". (This will "terminate" the current run of the Settings app but leave the app installed on your iPad. Your settings won't change, but if you were in the middle of a process such as joining a wi-fi network or setting up a mail account, it may not complete and you may need to restart that process from the beginning.)
    Press the "Settings" icon to open the Settings app. Confirm that Cellular Data is no longer grayed out. (If it is still grayed out, this method did not work folr you, Power off the iPad and power it back on.)

    Hi
    My first thoughts are
    • iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
    • in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

  • Info tab in Get Info section is greyed out

    The info tab in the get info section is greyed out on some of the songs and does not let me change them. What do I need to do? Does anyone know how?
    These are songs downloaded from my CD collection.

    If the files are not read only, the most likely thing is that Vista does not regard you as the owner of the files as they were created from another account, and has not granted you write permission.
    You need to make sure that your account has full control or at least write permission for the folder containing your music.
    Ther is some microsoft help on permissions in Vista here:

  • HT201415 I inserted a working sim card but iPad(2) says "no SIM" - cellular data setting greyed out

    I inserted a working SIM card into my iPad 2. It picked up the network but later gave a message saying "No SIM". The Cellular Data control option is greyed out so I cannot get in to this function. I have tried removing the SIM and re-inserting as well as re-starting. This made no difference. Any suggestions why this is the case? I have tried the SIM in my iPhone 4 and it works fine. Thank you.

    The SIM was taken from my iPhone. It is an extra line and was used for voice calls etc. So, it appears as though I need to get a dedicated data SIM. Appreciate the assistance..many thanks!

  • External hard drive greyed out mavericks

    Since upgrading to Mavericks me key working external hard drive has become unreadable. All the data looks like it is there, and the list of folders appear in the finder window, but they are greyed out. (see attached screen grab)
    I have tried all my other drives and they are working normally. 
    I tried this drive with my wifes Mountain lion computer and it worked fine.
    The same drive is paritioned with a TM backup as the other part and that works fine.
    Any advice? Its probably 1 click somewhere, but haven't been able to find it. I played with the permissions in the info window, but made no differnence.
    I really need access to this, so please help.
    Thanks

    I managed to sort it out, but cant really remember/dont really know how I did it. It was super simple and 1 click of a button. I was just trying loads of stuff to see if I could find it and suddenly it was working.
    I was deifnitely from the finder window. Try the buttons along the top, including change the arrnage by. Try the tags button and change the tags to none if you can. Finally try in the top menu "view" and click around in that.
    Sorry that this is such a terrible reply, but as I said it just happened for me without really knowing what I was doing. So dont worry, all the data is still there.... just click lots of buttons!

  • Oracle Data Objects greyed out

    Hello, quick question about ODT 10.2.0.2.10 beta for .NET2005.
    Oracle Data Objects are greyed out in my toolbox in web application. Also when I drag and drop table from Oracle Explorer onto the aspx form, all I get is text with Select statement.
    At the same time, all this functionality works ok in windows form.
    The same installation works ok in 2003, both web and windows forms.
    Thanks in advance.

    In vs2005, in an ASP.NET web application, you will need to right click on the default.aspx, select "View Component Designer" from the context menu and this will launch the Component (Windows Forms) Designer and then the ODP.NET components in the toolbox will be enabled.
    Let me know if this fixes your problem.

  • Panel groups greyed out

    even after a computer reboot, problem persists in which some panel groups  (such as Design, Code etc - on the right side of the screen) are greyed out, meaning there is a grey area instead of the panel groups being visible. Each time a panel group is closed, it joins the ranks of being greyed out. Does this mean Dreamweaver needs to be re-installed?
    My version is MX 2004.
    Please help!!

    Don't reinstall yet.
    First take a look here, and perhaps start with item #4:

  • Date is greyed out.

    Hi gang..
    When I go to the date and time up in the right hand corner, it reads fine but tells me the day and time only. When I use the pulldown feature there I get the full day and date but its always greyed out. I have tried everything I can think of to adjust this so its not greyed out or even to get this instead of the regular day and time, but no go. Does anyone here know how to ungrey out the day and date from the pulldown menu? Its always been like this BTW..
    Thanks

    K, now I got it.
    There's never been an option through the Date & Time preferences to display all of the date, day and time - it would consume too much menu bar space. It's been that way since back in the days of System 6 (think back in the day of the 128K Mac - 9" screen!). Up through OS 9, clicking on the clock would toggle to the month/date/year, then back.
    In OS X, it's changed to a contextual-style display, showing the day and date and options to change the display behavior or open the Date & Time preferences. The fact that the day and date are grayed out infers only that the item can't be changed directly through the menu item - it must be changed through the preference setting.
    I have never searched for any utility that would alter or replace the clock display in the menu bar. I do have iStat Menus which will display it's rendition of the clock but it also will not display the day, date and time as one item in the menu bar - again, a contextual-style menu appears showing the calendar. But I don't use that function from iStat Menus - the standard Apple clock has worked fine for me all these years.
    You might search over on VersionTracker for clock mods or replacements.

  • Cellular Data turned off, Data Roaming greyed out and shows as on

    I've googled the **** out of this and still can't find the answer so here goes.
    If I have both Cellular Data and Data Roaming ON and then turn Cellular Data OFF then the Data Roaming label and ON/OFF toggle both turn grey and light blue respectively, but the Data Roaming still shows as ON (in light blue not the regular blue colour). Does this mean that Data Roaming is actually still on? If not, then why doesn't it show as OFF or are we supposed to interpret the fact that it is greyed out to mean that it is actually off when it shows ON?

    You're welcome.
    I don't see what difference it makes. Cellular Data off means cellular data is off. Someone who is roaming internationally with Data Roaming turned on wants data turned off completely for a period of time can turn Cellular Data off without turning Data Roaming off. When turning Cellular Data back on, Data Roaming is already on.
    An iPhone can exchange SMS for certain with Cellular Data turned off, but I don't believe the same applies to MMS.
    Having 3G network access on or off has 3G network access on or off only. The same amount of data will be exchanged with 3G access off only at a slower rate. If you download the same photo via a fast broadband connection vs via a much slower old dial-up connection, the same amount of data will be downloaded only slower via the dial-up connection.

  • New User/Group greyed out

    Running OS X Server 10.4.10. Fresh install as of today. Have OD Master set up and one test account is successfully authenticating. When I join it to the AD domain, it works as well with AD credentials.
    For some reason, New User and New Group is greyed out. This was not the case before. I am authenticated to WGM using diradmin, but adding and deleting users is greyed out.
    I've ran Repair Permissions in Disk Utility. No help yet. This is frustrating.
    Help!

    Tony,
    I called Apple and talked to an Edu Server guy who had me unbind from LDAP, reboot and rebind. That fixed it! My server is now doing what I want it to do and I am rather happy.

  • Get Info shows informations greyed-out; I can't edit it!

    Whenever I want to edit a song (because of a misspelling, or to make it go in accordance with the rest of the items, etc.) I find the information is there, but greyed-out, and so, am not able to edit it. This happened before the update to version 11, so I don't know what's wrong.
    I have to say I had a horrendous system crash, and I had to reconstruct two hard drives, so it may stem from the consequences of that lightning strike, but I have no problem with authorizations, so I am at a loss.
    Just yesterday, I put into iTunes a double CD (yes, I don't feel comfortable if I don't own my music. I have DVD's of all I've ever downloaded from iTunes Store, too, so I backup: it's a religion.) And that CD info is also non-editable.
    I really need the capacity to edit my songs. Please help.

  • How can I get rid of a greyed out video title on my iPhone 4?

    I deleted the video from the phone then trashed it in iTunes. I can't find the video anywhere but it shows up, greyed out, in the list of videos.
    Can anybody help? Thanks in advance.

    Try checking "Manually manage music and videos on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, click Apply, open the folder on your iPhone on the left sidebar by clicking on the triangle to the left of its name, click on the Movies folder and see if you can click on the video and delete it from there.
